Happy Saturday, everybody!
Today I used the Merry Christmas Tidings die on some of the gold Shimmer Paper that Memory Box used to make (I've been hoarding it). After adhering it, I used some green Stickles over the letters. This actually looks fantastic in person, but glitter is very hard for me to capture on film. (BTW, I really like this die cut and will be showing you other variations throughout September!)

- Die cut Merry Christmas Tidings and temporarily adhere it to your craft sheet. Apply Stickles. Peel up and adhere to card when dry.
- You will have perfect and instant bonding if you use spray adhesive on the back of the die cut!

Memory Box cardstock and Merry Christmas Tidings die; gems; Stickles
This is an easy card to make for Christmas mailings, and you can have a child apply the Stickles. If you follow my tips above, it won't matter how messy things get on the craft sheet, it'll look perfect when you've peeled it up and adhered it to your card!
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

Really pretty card. Did you cut the die cut out of gold paper?

I have been trying to find the paper you used called shimmer. The paper garden in Sacramento said they have it and it is called Antique Gold. I don't believe that is the same is it? Too bad you use material that is no longer available What woud you think of using the Antique Gold in place of the shimmer?
